Can Bdp-2 read cue files? I have many albums ripped into single files accompanied by cue sheets.  Bdp-2 interface seems to show the whole album as one song if it is ripped as one file.  Thx...
I have the same question. From experience I'd say it can not. Then, could it be made to read .cue files so as to show different songs instead of only one?

Thumb drives are handy if you want to transport your music to a friends or elsewhere.  HDD is super cheap storage now....even SSD is reasonably priced.

And, thumb drives use less power, which is handy for BDP-1 owners.

I am having about a 25% error rate with the tagging on the MPaD app while ripping CDs using the BOT-1. Although some of them are amusing in a bizarre kind of way, it is very frustrating to have a library of over 300 CD's and not really know what 1/4 of them really are. I was initially planning to rip over 1,000 CD's, but not with this error rate. I do not have the skills to manually go in and fix all these errors if there is even a way to do that. Is there a more reliable app or program that can be used with the BDP 2 and an iPad ? It was nice to have the free app, but this is virtually useless to me with an error rate this high

I have an external hardrive plugged into my BDP-2. I just replaced a failed hardrive. Luckily, I had it backed up.
Does the BDP-2 go into sleep mode?
I ask this because the hardrive still flashes after the Bryston screen goes blank.

The display turning off is simply a "screensaver" to prevent the display from prematurely dimming over time.

Chris,
Thanks so I would need to turn off the BDP-2 in order to turn off the hardrive?

If it's powered off the USB cable that would do it, I'm a bit surprised though that it doesn't spin down on its own.

No the hardrive has its own power supply.
I'm not sure if it does spin down. The unit is not hot, but it still flashes.
Turing the BDP-2 off at night means it will take 15-30 minutes before I am able to access my music the next day.

It may check for changes upon startup (this can be turned off), but your music should be playable immediately after the mpd ready message appears.

Well, the hardrive shows up fairly quickly but it takes about 15 minutes for all of my folders  to be available.

Although not quite the same issue as you since as I use a NAS I've noticed after updating to the latest firmware it's taking considerably longer for all my folders to be picked up and it also takes a lot longer before the player will allow me to start playing music, even for the folders/files that are available quickly.

If your using a NAS you should turn off the update database on startup, found under mpd settings.  You can always place the unit in service mode and email us the service id so we can see why your u it is always updating upon startup

Thanks Chris, wouldn't this feature need to be on though to capture any new files added on the NAS? I frequently add new albums lately. If not I'll definitely set that to off and see how the start-up performance changes before having you connect and investigate.

There's a button in the upper right hand corner that does the same thing, just wait until the network share is mounted before using it.  Also if you go into NAS setup there are is a button that allows you to update an individual network share.  Finally there is an option found in media player that allows you to update an individual folder on the network share.

Very nice.

I assumed that this function had already been thoroughly foreseen, but I failed to understand how.
Not that I cared too much about it.

But I still get lost  :scratch:
Some screenshots may be helpful for me, and may be for someone else.
